If the Colts want to win the division they will either need to pull for the patriots or the vikings. Since it would seem unrealistic for the Vikings to beat the Texans, it would seem their best bet is to pull for the Patriots. I wonder how many Colts fans would subject themselves to that...

Killswitch without question. [/Sarcasm]

Colts fans need to worry about beating the Titans. Indy isn't good enough yet to be scoreboard watching.

nah. it was the afc west. the only division that might be more boring to watch, currently, than the nfc east.

The butt hurt is strong with this one. The NFC East is easily the funniest division to watch in the NFL right now. The Eagles are masters of the turnover, the Cowboys can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as well as any team in the league, the Giants forget to show up more than any other good team in the league and the Redskins are the Redskins and thus inherently hilarious.

Maybe if the east wasn't constantly being shoved up my backside I would give your argument some consideration. I live in Seattle and without fail the NFL insists on televising at least one NFC East game every week, and usually an AFC East game as well. God forbid I get to see another NFC West game besides the one the Seahawks are playing in.

It's shoved up your backside because the NFC East is a ratings cash cow. It's all about population density.

The East has big markets which means more money for the league. Big markets also means higher ratings in a vacuum.

It's not like the division sucks either. The records aren't great bc all 4 teams beat the snot out of each other during the regular season. But we are always putting a SB contender or 2 into the playoffs every year.

Those things are all true. But that doesn't mean that anyone on the West Coast wants to watch any of those teams play WEEK IN,WEEK OUT. I personally know a couple of Patriots fans and one Jets fan. None of my friends or colleagues are fans of Dallas, NYG, or Washington. One guy at work is an Eagles fan.

I understand. I don't blame you for feeling that way.

I personally hate that the East Coast has to wait so late for games to accomodate the west coast. California doesn't give a **** about their sports teams unless they're constantly winning (like the Lakers) anyway. I have a better chance of watching the Chargers play than San Diego natives.

I get that the NFC East is a big money maker, but I have to agree it gets a little tiresome to constantly have to hear about the division when it hasn't been honestly that great. Giants have made it happen in the playoffs but other than that the teams have been more talk than substance.

And before the Giants the Eagles were regularly making NFCCG's, and Dallas will be a ratings monster regardless of their standings in the NFL, but it's not like they've been awful either. And both times the Giants won the Superbowl recently, they were the ones that eliminated the Cowboys from the playoffs.

I wouldn't lump all of Cali together, its mostly just LA's bandwagon ass that is a terrible sports city.

Well the east coast doesn't have some magic following that never dies. Miami and Jacksonville have had attendance problems for years. Even midwest places like Cincinnati, Minnesota, and St.Louis. The majority of teams that lose, especially constantly will lose out on support. It's not just California. And here in the bay area, there is always constant support for the professional sports teams.

does anyone know what the ratings for last sunday and monday night were?

Quote:

Monday Night Football (Redskins/Giants) was Monday's number 1 cable program, with a 6.0 adults 18-49 rating way up from last week's 4.0

To make matters even more hilarious. The game people were claiming on here "no one will watch" SNF with Dallas vs Philadelphia actually performed BETTER than the MNF game which was up from previous weeks.

Quote:

1 NBC Sunday Night Football-12/02 NBC 7.4

They estimated 9.4 million viewers tuned in for the Dallas vs Philadelphia game.

So much for no one watches NFC East games. I do fully understand that it is crammed down our throats but when a game isn't interesting people don't watch: see last year's national championship.
